Chapter 93
The dinner ended!
The prefects of all houses led the students to their common rooms, but most of them were freshmen or those who wanted to watch the fun.
As for the rest of the class, it could only be said that this restless grade of youth was not so quiet.
There were Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, the three houses, and Ravenclaw's own students.
Ethan saw more than one boy approaching the seniors of Ravenclaw, mostly those above the third year. Of course, not all of them succeeded, and many failed.
Ethan also left at this moment.
But he did not go to the Room of Requirement. Instead, he went to the lawn outside Hogwarts.
The target was the Whomping Willow!
The Whomping Willow is a very rare plant. There is no such thing in the Forbidden Forest. Apart from the one at Hogwarts, no one knows where else one might be in the British wizarding world. It was specially obtained by Dumbledore for Lupin.
It was not easy to start before. This plant is very precious and also very aggressive. It is easy to be discovered if it is missing branches or stems.
But today, Ronald and Harry hit it with their car, causing many branches to fall off. Ethan went to pick up some unwanted debris.
The Whomping Willow is also a willow. If it is a willow, it should be possible to propagate it by cutting branches. Planting it in a space like the Room of Requirement, which can meet any requirements, would ensure a high survival rate.
There will be no shortage of this kind of material in the future.
Before getting close, Ethan saw the unusually agitated Whomping Willow, with countless branches waving in the air, making bursts of air-breaking sounds.
"Laxo!"
A series of flames hit the trunk of the Whomping Willow directly. Under the effect of magic, the Whomping Willow withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the branches drooped and could not be lifted.
The "Laxo" spell is effective on any creature, making it weak and powerless.
Using a wand allows for greater control. What if such a large tree cannot be controlled by a wandless spell?
Without the interference of the Whomping Willow, Ethan directly picked up all the broken branches around, leaving no leaves behind. It must be said that the car crashed hard enough that he collected a lot of branches as thick as a bowl.
Not only the fallen ones, but also those broken ones with a little bark still hanging on them. Ethan did not let them go. He swung his magic sword to cut them off and took them away.
After finishing, he ran directly to the Room of Requirement.
He requested a room suitable for cuttings and planting as soon as possible.
The space that appeared had five acres of fertile land and a warm winter. Following the steps in the book, he applied dragon manure fertilizer. There is no shortage of this material with fire dragons.
The best fertilizers in the wizarding world are the dung of a mooncalf and the dung of a fire dragon. Both are what Professor Sprout likes to use.
[Field Work]
In spring, sow seeds of hope; in summer, remove lush weeds; in autumn, welcome the golden wheat waves; and in winter, store the joy of harvest.
Achievement goal: Have your own land again, cultivate the garden with your own hands (1/1)
Achievement reward: Purification potion
An unexpected surprise!
The result of the lottery was also very good—a potion not available on the market at all.
Purification potion: cleanses the soul, purifies the body, and removes filth.
This is the effect; it is almost like contact with negative status and should be effective for Nagini's curse.
It's just that the brewing time is too long!
It takes a full half year, the same as the Felicity Potion, and the materials required are even more precious, all of which have the effect of removing curses and healing.
Unicorn tears and unicorn horn powder: this is easy for Ethan to get; the powder is available, and the tears can be obtained by going to the Forbidden Forest.
Phoenix tail feathers: Ethan also has these, as they were a Christmas gift from Dumbledore last Christmas. But phoenix tears are difficult to obtain.
He will find another opportunity later to see if he can get a little more from old Dumbledore.
Then, he requested a space suitable for the dragon to live. Now Onyxia is only more than five meters long; if no one takes care of her, it is still not very suitable for the Forbidden Forest.
There are tribes of centaurs, werewolves, giant spiders, chimeras, poisonous leopards, winged demons, and five-legged monsters, all of which can pose a threat to Onyxia. (The werewolves in the Forbidden Forest are wolf cubs formed after mating with werewolves, not in human form.)
Not to mention that after being exposed, it is easy to attract the attention of poachers.
So, it can only be released when it grows to ten meters. At that point, it will be the size of an adult Hebridean Black Dragon. Under normal circumstances, dealing with it would require more than a dozen wizards working together, let alone Ethan's genetically mutated dragon.
And he doesn't know what happened, but the flames spewed by Onyxia are not the normal orange now, but black.
This is also what Ethan discovered after returning from Nico. Maybe the fire-breathing organ is gradually developing, which reveals its specialness. (It takes six months for a dragon cub to breathe fire. Before that, it can only breathe out sparks. It takes one year to fly. Ethan's dragon is growing fast.)
After calming Onyxia down, Ethan opened the magic training room for the first time in a long time. He hadn't practiced the Fire God's Way.
As for Nagini, as long as the space is not too small, like an iron cage, and can accommodate her wandering around, she will continue to live in the box with the Traceless Stretching Spell.
On the first day of school, the class schedule had been sent.
Except for the cancellation of the flying class, everything else was the same as in the first grade, though the times of the courses had changed.
Sure enough, this Madam Hooch is just a referee for the Quidditch games. She only teaches one grade and one class a week. There is no one with an easier job than hers. She is just a teacher for the salary.

Ethan went to the hall with my roommate and met Harry and Ronald, who also came from the direction of the Gryffindor common room.
"What happened to you yesterday?"
He was mainly concerned that Gryffindor didn't lose points.
Such a big thing happened—Muggles saw the flying car, and the matter was reported to the Ministry of Magic.
But today, the hourglass representing the Gryffindor house points hadn't decreased!
Snape actually didn't seize the opportunity to deduct one or two hundred points. Can you believe it!
According to Dumbledore's partiality to Harry, if he did not deduct Gryffindor house points, he would definitely be a bigger competitor than Stirling in Ravenclaw's process of winning the house cup.
"I don't know what happened yesterday. We couldn't get onto Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. To avoid being late, Ronald drove out the family car, but he didn't expect to crash into the Whomping Willow."
Harry sighed here. It was just a matter of sending a letter to the school, but now it has become so big.
"Didn't Snape make things difficult for you? He didn't even attend the opening dinner yesterday."
Actually, this matter had nothing to do with Snape. Professor McGonagall is the head of Gryffindor. If the little wizard in her houise is in trouble, if she doesn't go, who will?
And Dumbledore is the headmaster. If this matter becomes a big deal, he will have to communicate with the Ministry of Magic.
Snape, who has nothing to do with it, ran away faster than a bear.
"He said he wanted to expel us, but fortunately, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall stopped him. Moreover, Professor McGonagall said that the school hadn't started yet, so the school points would not be deducted. We just need to do detention."
Speaking of this, Harry was quite happy. His housemaster finally showed her strength.
In the past, he would watch Snape scold him and Ronald, and McGonall wouldn't say a word for him when points were deducted, and would even take the initiative to deduct points. Now, things have finally changed.
"Is that so!"
"By the way, you can't enter Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. It must be that the pillars are enchanted. Think about it—who doesn't want you to come to Hogwarts? Be prepared, since you are here."
"He will definitely not give up."
After saying that, Ethan left.
It seems that Professor McGonagall was scared by the house points last school year, so she is now holding back; otherwise, she would have deducted 100 or 200 points by now.
"You are no longer the fair and just cat professor!". Ethan muttered

"Ronald, remember the house elf I mentioned when I went to your house just now?"
"Well, you said he made your birthday terrible."
"He said there was a big conspiracy in Hogwarts this year, and something terrible happened, so I shouldn't go to Hogwarts. I suspect it was him."
After Ethan's reminder, Harry quickly found the target.
"But the house elf, this..."
"The owls are coming!"
Ethan, who was eating breakfast, was gently pushed by Terry.
Turning around, at least hundreds of owls rushed in as the windows of the auditorium opened, and feathers rained down wherever they passed.
Ethan casually cast a defensive spell to cover the surrounding area to avoid being contaminated by feathers and owl droppings.
Ethan knew that birds don't have bladders and have short rectums, so it's normal for them to poop while flying.
Two owls flew to Ethan's side and dropped two packages.
Ethan tore them open directly, and there were magazines inside.
Today's "Guide To Transfiguration" which was recommended by Professor McGonagall. Ethan had subscribed for a long time and had not missed any issue.
"The Quibbler," which Ethan subscribed to with an owl when he met Luna, wanting to see how imaginative her father is.
He didn't expect this issue to come so quickly.
Just as Ethan was about to flip through it, a scream came from the Gryffindor long table.
"Oh, no!"
This scream attracted a lot of attention. Ronald was holding a wet owl, and a wet red envelope was in its mouth.
"You'd better open it now" Neville whispered from the side. He had experience with this matter.
"It's worse if you don't open it. My grandma sent me one once, and I ignored it. The result was terrible!"
At this point, Neville was a little scared.
Harry looked at all this with some horror, and his feet were quietly moving away from here.
Yesterday, Professor McGonagall said that she would send a letter to his and Roanald's home, so now it's obvious who the letter is from.
"Open it quickly!" Neville urged hurriedly. "It's too late."
Ronald stretched out his shaking hand, but a lot of white smoke was coming out of the envelope at this moment.
Bang!
The huge noise filled the entire hall, and the dust from the ceiling fell down.
"...If they expel you for stealing the car, I woudln't be surprised at all. Just wait and see how I deal with you. You probably never thought about how your father and I felt when we found out that the car was gone..."
Mrs. Weasley's voice was much louder than usual. She definitely used an enhanced version of the voice increasing spell, and it was echoed by the surrounding stone walls.
Ronald and his group, who had already attracted a lot of attention, became the focus at this moment, and even the professors were looking at this place.
It can be said that Ronald has already died socially at this moment, and of course, he should be used to it.
Until the roar ended, the whole letter turned into ashes, but Ronald and Harry were still stunned in the same place, as if they had not come back to their senses.
The twin brothers and Percy, Ethan had seen their backs sneaking out of the hall, probably because they thought it was too embarrassing.
Howler letters, this thing may not come once a year.
Ronald, why did the Weasley family produce such a jerk like you!-

After breakfast, Ethan and others prepared to go to class.
The first class today was Herbology.
The Herbology class was in the greenhouse outside Hogwarts.
In the past, Professor Sprout always came early and would tell the little wizards which greenhouse to go to for class.
But today, Professor Sprout was not seen.
When the class was about to start, Ethan saw Professor Sprout walking on the lawn with a very ugly face.
There were still many bandages on her arms, and the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Lockhart, followed behind her.
Ethan didn't know whether Professor Sprout was annoyed by Lockhart or because she found that the fallen branches of the Whomping Willow were missing.
The bandages on Sprout's arms showed that she was trying to mend them.
But all these preparations were useless at this moment.
